Patchwork backpack made of old Jeans


This summer is not a craft summer for me, I spend a lot of time in my front and back yards.
Only after sunset, mosquitoes occupy the yards, I go back to my sewing room and do some craft.
I'm quite pleased with this scrappy look backpack, it was made of an old jean and some 11/2"squares.

Cupcake Apron


Yesterday, I spent the whole day on making this apron.

It's quite easy-made. I cut two pieces gingham,sewed together along the shoulder part, then added ruffles along the edges, added 3 pairs of stings on each side, tied the strings together, an apron was done.
I made a mistake when cutting the second piece, it was 3" short. I didn't have enough fabric left to cut another piece, so I added another piece and sewed a decorative piece to cover the seam.

A cupcake was made of cake, butter cream, and a cherry
